Emotional Baggage

Recommended by

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: Emotional Baggage by Jake Lewis
    “

    A very funny play that combines tedious bureaucracy, unchecked capitalism, and grief processing. The feeling that airlines have you right where they want you, when you're taking a trip that you don't even want to take, is on full display, along with a healthy dose of absurdism that doesn't seem THAT absurd. A nice little ten-minute piece.
